Whereas I, as a red mage, just got a full set of merlinic with avg 31 MAB on my augs for all pieces, and I just soloed t3 einherjar for the first time in 25 minutes.

level MNK if you enjoy and like it but be warned it's extremely out of the current endgame meta cause it produces too much TP and all its weaponskills suck ultimately.

I'm not concerned with the endgame (I never even made it there 10 years ago when it was 75). Like I said, this is mainly about coming back 10 years later, and seeing/playing the content I couldn't do back then. MNK was just the job I started with, and was my "Main", so I'm going with it first.

In case anyone is curious, my levels were 55 MNK, 30 WAR, 20 DRK, and 15 THF.

Anyway, judging by the Linkshell Concierge post-maintenence, my server is a ghost town, so I'll probably transfer once I'm done grinding a bit in Crawler's nest later today.

BLU and BST are super efficient at grinding content. I suggest everyone leveling one of those jobs for grinding.

Unless you're on Asura or maybe Odin, your server is gay and dead.

And MNK sucks for even not endgame.

Pretty sure that one is just killing the ZNM while the weapon is equipped.

It's the 1200 previous kills that require the WS to be used.

$18 for world transfer even with dead servers, on a dead game.. considering coming back but ugh..

Can someone check my account on ffxiah and tell me how long it'd take to just catch up a new character to where I left off mission/job/gear-wise? I'm imagining I'm behind the curb big time but still I remember some of this gear being annoying to farm.

About a week if you play hard every day. Other than epona's ring, your gear is outdated. Sparks or coalition gear is easily obtained and surpasses your Manibozho gear.

Easier due to gear and being able to summon five trusts. It's a 3.8%, or 43% if you blue proc it. Probably best to two man it because it can charm you. If it does that, then it despawns by the time charm wears off and you have to hunt down the items to pop it all over again.

Not really. They frequently do an abyssea event that gives you a shitload of atmas. And it being outdated content, nobody gives a gently caress and you lowman it all due to ilevel 119.

Got past the sarameya trial, started doing the long armed chariot trials.

Attempt 1: forgot to equip murgleis
Attempt 2: forgot to equip murgleis
Attempt 3: got to chariot, network went dead.
Attempt 4: got distracted by kids, died.
Attempt 5: killed the chariot with murgleis, nothing happened. Checked weapon, no trial on it.
Attempt 6: didn't get an hp cell, got killed by fomors
Attempt 7: ran SSR2, that chariot doesnt count
Attempt 8: first successful kill
Attempt 9: second successful kill
Attempt 10: third successful kill

goddamn that sucked.

all kinds of mythics being completed by goons these days, speaking of which....

is Abyssea still the best place for the killing blow trials? Any specific atmas or just go wild with the typical RR/Apoc/etc..

Congrats. Abyssea has a short respawn time for regular monsters. Atmas are whatever keeps you WSing faster. Use non-attacking trusts for killing blow trials.

:yotj:

I did mine in abyssea with regain and storetp atmas up. use a healer like cherukiki or apururu who won't attack (enfeebles almost never draw hate for quick kills like this). Add ulmia and cornelia for the boosts and moogle if you need mana for some god awful reason. Find linking or aggressive mobs and just mass pull/murder as you see fit.

They had it before, the drop is random and the droprate is shiiiiit. Dont expect to even be able to +2 a single piece without serious grinding, it takes 10 of a single job's card to get 1 of the job you want.

Yeah. Grab two other people and without even having to worry about job comp you can get 2-3 cards easily in a 30min omen run.

Enter as 3 in a party. Drop group as soon as you are in and each person can then call a full contingent of trusts.
